I guess there's a reason, but the above looks a bit inconsistent. For
gpio you define the gpio resource inside the step. For power and pwm the
resource is defined before the steps. Why wouldn't "pwm = <&pwm 2
5000000>;" work in step2?

The document doesn't give any hint of what the driver should do if
running the power sequence fails. Run the "opposite" power sequence?
Will that work for all resources? I'm mainly thinking of a case where
each enable of the resource should be matched by a disable, i.e. you
can't call disable if no enable was called.
